I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Axmouth and Branscombe. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. Most mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this clause is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
The mortgage over my property is with TSB for my property in Axmouth and Branscombe. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform TSB?
You must advise TSB before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel firm.
I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Axmouth and Branscombe building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Axmouth and Branscombe conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the property lawyer is on the lender approved list, they must adhere to the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
